Hi, With my old TP1, I had no problems with ICS. I just got a TP2 yesterday, it's a refurb, so when I followed boo boo's tutorial on ICS with USB, under "network connection", I still get <none>, and can't choose the provider. I hard resetted, followed step by step, and still the same result. Anyone has any clue as what might be the problem? Thanks in advance
This worked for me, No need for cab or registry editor. I didn't write this and cant remember who did. Tried to find the post but couldn't. So who ever did write this THANKS because it worked for me.
Instead of hacking the registry, the phone is just set to use the AT&T ISP connection. Go into Internet Sharing, select Menu, Connection Settings, select Manage existing connections under AT&T ISP. On the next screen AT&T ISP GPRS should already be selected, tap edit.select next. The Access point name (APN) will say isp.cingular, this is the official tethering APN, change it to wap.cingular (the APN for phone internet browsing). select next. make sure user name, password, and domain are all cleared out, then select finish. Now go back to Internet sharing and all should be well. This will erase information needed to officially tether, but if you're doing this then you didn't intend to pay for it anyway. If you ever do need the username and password again, you should be able to obtain it via a simple google search or by calling customer service.
My posts are completely informational/educational. I bear NO responsibility for anyone messing up their phones or for anyone stealing (tethering without paying for it) from at&t Mobility.
sorry for the long post, just wanted to be detailed.

Installed the Black Satin rom today - amazing btw! - and I've been wrestling with WLM all day. It did work at first but then stopped completely saying I was in an area with bad data coverage. ALthough I'm getting full H and 3G speeds.
After a hard reset, I tried WLM using wireless before I applied to Tmob settings and again, it worked perfectly. Drop Tmob back on and it dies again.
Anyone had this before and does anyone know of a workaround so I can have my 3G and WLM on the same handset.
Many thanks and keep up the good work. There's enough cabs on here to keep me entertained for days!!!

Just a quick question, are you putting in the T-Mobile settings manually, or via a CAB from here? I know most of the early CABs had a proxy hard-coded into them that could be causing problems. Let us know what country you're from and I'm sure someone'll be kind enough to give you the settings to put in. If it's UK, then:
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
Advanced tab > Select Networks
New > Name it T-Mobile Internet and then click on the Modem tab
New > Name it T-Mobile Internet and select Cellular Line (3G)
Next > Access point is general.t-mobile.uk
Next > Finish
OK back outa few times and you're done.
Like I said, if it's not UK, this won't work! Also, if the problem isn't related to this - sorry!
Yeah, I added my T-Mob UK settings via the HTC tool that does it via ActiveSync. It added in an HTTP proxy that I couldn't delete. Strange, 'cos when I bought my Vario II it had no proxy defined.
When the proxy was there I could not access WLM. When I used a different CAB to re-add the settings, I could.
However, Agile Messenger still won't connect at all to AIM or MSN. Gawd knows why?!
Sorry - yes, I'm on T-mobile UK with web n walk. I found a cab on one of the wiki pages for T-mobile UK which is the first one I tried and didn't work. After posting here last night, I used the UK_Setup_ZD.exe program to load the T-mob settings and it still didn't work.
If anybody might be able to point me in the direction of a clean/usable T-Mob file that would be ace.
Thanks for the suggestion to load the settings manually. Before I cleared my phone of WM5, I followed the mrvanx guide to housekeep my existing setting but there is a starred out password in the connection for T-Mob internet so I couldn't set it.
As always, any help muchos appreciated!
If you're on T-Mobile UK, you don't need a username and password (trust me!). If you want, look up the details on the T-Mobile Help and Support website and it gives you step by step instructions on setting up the connections manually, that's where I got the above instructions from.
Oooh? Will try in and see how we get on. My searches have also lead me to other posts which think it may be a proxy settings, as the Tmob cab won't allow you to change the proxy.
I'll keep experimenting and will report back!
Confused Stu - YOU ARE A STAR!
Did a hard reset, back to a clean version of Satin. Input the details with no username and password and all seems to be working. Now all I need is to be able to stop it syncing every two seconds, but I shall have a mosey around the pages for the answer to that one and why I can't make it try wireless before dialling.
You've been a great help - cheers!!!
I had the same problem as you did after upgrading to Black Satin (starred out password in the T-mobile settings). I can confirm that you don't need the username or password to get it working.
Cheers,
Doogs
My hermes was working fine for the couple weeks I've had it, internet, internet sharing, everything. A couple days ago, the internet stopped working. I can still do calls, emails still seem to work (with exchange), sms is fine, although MMS is failing as well.
I have a 2nd 8525 and the same issues on that one too. I plugged my sim into a wing I had laying around, and voila, internet works. I tried all sorts of settings, tried surfing with wap.voicestream.com with the 216.155.165.50 or whatever proxy, etc.
I noticed on another forum that people in my area are having the same issues, but t-mobiles says the network is fine.
I am inclined to believe t-mobile on this one a bit, being that my Wing works fine... but neither of my 8525's (hermes) work...
One last note, when I boot up, I get a message saying the operator does not exist database, I just exit out the error and it WAS working fine even with that box, does it on both Hermes I have.
Any ideas!!!! Thanks. All help is really, really appreciated.
Mine stopped working temporarily yesterday, and started working again within an hour. Are you using the internet2.voicestream.com access point?
I'm using wap.voicestream.com -- but I had tried internet2.voicestream.com as well... are you using all the proxy settings with it (I HAVE the 19.99 unlimited data plan btw).
Both phones are using Schaps, so i'm considering flashing a different rom and seeing if that brings any new luck if I can't find any other help. But I have my main phone really well customized and would hate to have to do that.
What area are you in? I'm in South Florida (and on another thread, 2 or 3 other posters in south florida are having the same issues, weird)
With the unlimited data plan you should be able to use internet2 for all data and wap.voicestream for MMS. If you want I can post my configs that work, I just copied them from the T-Mobile Wireless configurator site using the Wing for my handset. Also, I'm from Northern Colorado.
RE: Internet:
I had an issue with t-mobile tZones back when they alowed it on smartphones... Then one day it just stopped working. about two weeks later, I finally got annoyed with them and called them.
They argued with me about tZones working for about 20 minutes and then finally found an internal memo about people using tZones to cruise the internet by accessing wap first, and once establishing a connection, usine pIE. So, You can't trust a phone company when it claims that their network is ok or that they ddin't cancel a part of your service without letting you know.

another thing you can do is copy the contents of your extended rom on the wing onto a storage card on your new device. also copy the "config" text file so that you install the CAB files in the proper order. reset. try now, I hope this helps

Did all of the above settings, didn't do a thing. Still same connection issue. When you go to IE and enter an address, it says "connecting... locating... opening..." and just sticks on "opening" for the page, MSN Live doesn't work or anything else either. This is all strange since it was all working fine only a few days ago.
There is some magic setting or something that is making Hermes devices not work anymore while the wing still does.
I DIDNT do the extended rom thing, would you mind explaining that a little further step by step for me?
If those settings don't work it sounds to me like something is corrupted on your phone, and you may need to do a hard reset, or installing a new rom. I haven't had any issues with Schaps 4.31 since I installed it 2 weeks ago, but it sounds like you might be.
I have 2 8525's, lol... didn't work on EITHER even with a fresh install of schaps, I even tried 4.4 with win mo 6.1 just for jollies. It's really strange though and as I said, multiple people in my area are reporting this same issue at this moment.
But I just think they made changes that a certain setting or something on the hermes doesn't like since it works on the Wing.
In fact, it's quite pissing me off, lol... really frustrating.
I would call t-mobile and find out from them. my 8525 works just fine.
yeah but you are in a different part of the country, it's actually people with Kaisers (Tilt) having the issue as well... it's the TyTn and TyTn II models that just magically aren't working, and it's all south florida. Those t-mobile bastards!
But really, the freakin Wing works, what could it possibly be!!!!!
8525 in South Florida (Miami) with same issue
As always, when I have problems with my phones I turn to xda developers and viola! Answer's to my questions. My at&t 8525 internet stopped working around 8pm Thursday night (2/7/08). I have had my T-mobile sim on this phone working fine since last July with not one problem until now. I actually did call t-mobile customer service and went through all the usual treat the customer like a dummy and tell him/her to restart, take out battery, etc etc like that never occurred to me to try...DUH! Then they tell me to talk to the IT dept at my work to see about active sync settings. And of course they do not know that I AM the senior engineer in the IT dept so I get the rare privilege to inform them of this and assure them that there is NOTHING wrong with my exchange server as everyone else in the office using active sync has no problems, it is only me on T-mobile with my unlocked 8525. They then offered to transfer me to tier 2 support. Which gave me another rare opportunity to use one of my favorite lines with customer support..... "I just want to talk to someone who knows more than me". Unfortunately work took me away from the phone and I did not get a chance to continue with tier 2 support. I will take this up later today and post any resolutions if they present themselves. But I am putting my money on this forum and the incredibly talented individuals who frequent here on a resolution to this issue instead of T-mobile. Seems to me T-mobile is sending a hidden message that they possibly do not want my business anymore. Good thing my contract us up in a few months.
Thanks to all in advance!

It's possible that the wing, since its a T-Mobile phone probably has some sort of network priority list the 8525 doesnt. try selecting under Phone > networks Tmobile and see if it sticks. Good luck!
Perhaps you should try flashing another radio. I used one a while back and could not get data working.
that's very interesting, as we are probably ALL using the same unlocked radio. Can you possibly point me in the right direction on how to do that?
radio version
I'm using Radio version 1.51. I will try flashing to the latest and see how that goes, but let me tell ya, looking at the new schap's rom I'm thinking I might just flash that bad boy, It looks awesome!

The 4.4? It's ok, I didn't notice a huge difference, and it actually seemed to run a bit slower, although I didn't have a chance to test it much.
I went to my device information, and it says radio version 1.16 - so I guess we are running different radio's and having the same issue... maybe that isn't the solution then. Could it have somethign to do with hard-spl and having it unlocked and what not?
Ok so tried 5 different radio versions, all with zero success. Ugh!!

All, this is a question that I am sure must have been asked before, but I can't construct a search that allows me to find an answer :-(.
I like to update the ROM periodically because I do have some strange behaviors every now and again. As I read Ricky's list of fixes, I see some of my issues being resolved.
However, each time I apply a ROM update, everything not on the SIM card gets wiped out. That's no biggie for me with the data, everything I need there is on a PC somewhere anyway. It's the t-mobile settings that are a pain. I have made a notre of what they all are, but it would be really nice to be able to simply apply those settings. I would think the easiest thing to do would be to back them up somewhere - somewhere that isn't going to get trashed during the ROM upgrade and then reapply them.
The trouble is I can't find a way to back them up and restore, nor to persist them somewhere on the device, so I end up retyping them. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Chris
It would really help us out if you tell us what you are trying to backup, what kind of information, data, so on.
I am needing to back up all the t-mobile connection settings. These settings are accessed under connections and are in gprs, proxy and vpn. They have names like T-Mobile Proxy, T-Mobile Data and T-Zones GPRS.
Thanks in advance

Does anyone has unlimited access to Web, emails with T-Mobile Web $5.99 hacked working properly?
Please help, I can't access to Internet
Adavid
Timely question as I have been wrestling with the very same issue for the past 36 hours.
My phone also has the RW 6.1 ROM and I activated T-Zones a day and a half ago. I've followed the hack instructions on "dashapps" to the letter, booted and rebooted several times, yet no internet. I either get a "$MESSAGE$..." or "you cannot access.." message when I try to connect.
I read on another HTC (non-Excalibur) board that T-Mobile has closed this loophole: can anyone definitively verify? There's a member here -- JDOGG*** something that says he works for TMo, so maybe he knows for sure.
I hate to be the noob that asks the same question that's been answered a dozen times, but... I've scoured this board and followed all the hack instructions EXACTLY -- several times -- and still no luck, so I'm at a loss for solutions.
Any and all guidance is genuinely appreciated. Thank you.
i've had the $5.99 working for quite some time working with:
autosync/exchange
iris browser/pocket IE
IM+ (IM program)
VNC viewer
also, i'm using 6.1 & followed the dashapps hack w/ no issues. not sure what else to tell you guys.
Yes, the $5.99 proxy hack doesn't work in some regions (usually those with the highest data traffic.) For everyone else, it works perfectly, with the exception of a few apps that aren't proxy aware.
A related question which may help solve my issue:
Within "Connections" there are two GPRS choices: #5, "GPRS Settings" and #6, "GPRS". For "GPRS Settings" I have the option of authenticating using PAP or CHAP: which do I use?
Also, is there a preferred setting for "Disconnect GPRS When Dropped"? (Preferred in the sense that it may effect my ability to connect to the internet.)
Thanks again.

$5.99 Setting for WM6.1.....URGENT
ralph1o1 cal you write it down your phone set up?
I called T-mobile Yesterday to do the setting and the Lady toll me that I have to get the $19.99 plan to get access with WM6.1, I'm pretty sure a few peoples of "T-mobile support" doesn't have a idea when you change OS doesn't come with the original phone.
If you can bring me the setting I appreciated.
By the way..I went back to WM6 to try and I had access to T-Zones thru "winwap" but I didn't have the $5.99 plan to try it.

Other settings are blank, except for the DNS entries are all 0.0.0.0.
The second connection is labeled T-Mobile MMS:

Other settings are blank, except for the DNS entries are all 0.0.0.0.
Now onto the proxies...I have two setup:

let me get this straight...you put a cooked copy of 6.1 on your phone....you then call tmobile and tell them that your new unsupported cooked rom wont let you access the whole net on the 5.99 hack plan like the wm6 did.
you do realize that the whole concept of what we are doing here has totally escaped you.
Yah just follow the instructions below and you should be able to access it.

Thanks for all your help
Jim
you need to set up the modem connection for att in the connections tab. I dont have them here but if you search around you will likely find them or call customer sevice and get the:
Access point name:
User Name:
Password:
Once you have entered those choose that connection that you just created to be the one you use to connect to the internet.
Did I miss a memo? He said he is on TMo, why use ATT settings?
To the op, try using my sig to obtain the T-Mobile settings and then set up the data connection. I bet if you searched for something like "T-Mobile data connection cab" you could even get it in a cab file so you wouldn't need to monkey with all the typing in of the info. Good luck. And please learn to search and read before posting.
